Porsche sold!! 
buyer collecting and paying end of the week....a Chim is finally near my grasp!!
So now to the little matter of finding one...my budget is not huge and i'm not expecting a minter, but bearing in mind it's "winter price" for convertibles season...hopefully something not too sheddy is out there!
I've got about 5k to spend, ideally no more!!! Now i've heard of people picking their cars up for 4 or even 3k!! I however have never seen them that cheap
At present i've found two in my price bracket but thought i'd ask in the best place to ask to see if anybody else knows of bargainous Chims for sale!!!
Thanks in advance

Picked up one for 5k last month, really pleased with it, a few issues, gaskets, speedo, few cosmetic bits (had to glue on some trim this weekend) etc, but the the chassis is reasonable for a 15year old car, and its water tight and been well looked after, doing around 25mpg, on expensive unleaded, (tried red diesel didnt like that) £350 to insure, not stopped smiling yet, go find one mate and enjoy, they are sooooooo much better than porsha

There will be a cheap chim that won't need work doing but your going to have to be very lucky to find one, or very handy with a spanner.
Last year I paid £2800 for insurance :-s
Just got an insurance quote from my current lot.....There will be a cheap chim that won't need work doing but your going to have to be very lucky to find one, or very handy with a spanner.

STR8 SIX are more than capable of selling this as a finished car the fact they are not suggests that it is not financially viable which translates to why buy a heap of junk that is going to cost more than the car is worth, this is not the griff forum.http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2461669.htm
These are very cheap cars and they do seem to be getting cheaper, not sure if they have totally leveled off yet, but I personally feel £5k is just too small an amount not to be disappointed in six months time. Best of luck though.

off topic why would you hand £2800 to an insurance company for a chimp thats nuts, you must be a serious TVR fanatic or a nut job, or 18 with 6 points on your licence.There will be a cheap chim that won't need work doing but your going to have to be very lucky to find one, or very handy with a spanner.

That really is a staggeringly insane amount to pay for insurance.
